[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatchna:
If you're stuck in a boot loop after unlocking the bootloader, you may have to perform a factory reset from recovery. I had to do this to get mine booting again after I unlocked it. After the reset, everything worked great.

Of course, this is also assuming you unlocked your bootloader using fastboot , and not a toolkit. Solution might be the same though either way. May be worth a shot.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avdaga:
I also borked the original ROM after unlocking it, before I even flashed a custom recovery using the nexus toolkit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015467)

However, it is quite easy to reflash the software (you will loose the data though) through the same toolkit. After that I was able to flash TWRP recovery and CM10.1 :)

I've been using the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 for about a month. I've rooted it and put Android market on it but with the locked bootloader and no SD card that's all I can do.

It's screen is great and I initially got it for the streaming Prime videos, but I've used it once.

I have a Nexus 7 and use it quite often but I've found it's too small.

I got to thinking about the Nook HD + and am wondering since the device has been out a while and has quite a few users, what the downsides of the device are.

I know it has the same screen and TI OMAP processor, but that's all I know about it.

Talke me into, or out of getting the Nook HD +

plese be honest and keep the fanboi rhetoric out of this discussion.

I'm coming at this from a hacking/installing customizations angle.

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is a nice device. I have not used a Kindle Fire HD so don't know how it compares.

The HD+ has a locked bootloader, so it is difficult to put ROMs on internal memory. It has a system where if you change something on /system it will reset itself back to factory settings. But the devs have done a good job of hacking it and you can have it rooted and put gapps and any app you want on internal memory.

But the biggest advantage hackerwise is it has an SD slot and can be booted from SD, completely bypassing the stock ROM. And we already have a very mature CM10 on SD.

So from a hackers view, it is super.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] gvw755:
Well, for one thing, the Nook HD+ is about $30 cheaper, but that won't help in your case since you already bought the KFHD9. The real advantages are:

slightly faster processor

screen is way better (that was what sold me between the KFHD, N7, and Nook HD+)

comes with an sd port which allows you to load CM10 on an sd card, stick it in the port and run CM10 without disturbing the BN stock OS.

If you want to run it using the stock OS, that is an option too using an alternative laucher.

the main disadvantages are:

the B&N marketplace is not as advanced as Amazon marketplace if you really want to use a marketplace (then again if you are invested in Amazon marketplace, you can download kindle app)

there are not as much third party accessories for it (such as skins, covers, etc)

they changed their data/charging cable so the general use Nook Color stuff is out the window.

If your interest really is running CM10 or an alternate launcher, you should read the stuff in the Nook HD android development section by verygreen and leapinlar as it is very advanced and has a lot of discussions. Leapinlar also has a post in this general section which would be a good place to start.

I was going to ask YOU if there was any real development on the KFHD9 ever since they rooted it back in November, but from your intro, I am assuming not.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gunnyman:
There is a CM10 coming soon thread that has been coming soon for a while now.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] thegracious:
well for me, the disadvantages of nook hd+ are:

+lacking of light sensor

+The charging cable is unique, you can't found any replacement except from B&N store. Eventhough it look like 30pin of ipad or galaxy tab, the truth is it doesn't fit.

+speaker are not as good as KFHD.

And the biggest advantage is that it can expaned via uSD card up to 64gb, so a 32gb nook + 64gb must satisfy any demand for storage.

Moreover, by using rom from uSD, you never need to wonder about the risk that your rom may damage your nook (the worst situation is the uSD is corrupted- I never see any report about this).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gvw755:
AND, if you choose the stock root option developed by leapinlar and you want to return to absolute brand new stock, it is easy to do just by following the instructions for the 8 reboot. Good to know if you wish to sell it later (although I doubt if you will).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gunnyman:
Thanks for all of the input. My wife has been drooling over the kfhd since the day I got it. I just might give it to her and get the Nook for myself
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gvw755:
Great excuse. You really should treat her nice. I think this is a win-win situation for all.

Only suggestion I have for you if you want to get into hacking the Nook HD+ is to either do leapinlar stock root first or do verygreen's CM10 SD card install. Don't try to do both at the same time as you can get very confused very fast.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bpaulien:
Lol. Yes that was my problem. But I think I've got it figured out now. And loving it. I love the screen, and the speakers really aren't THAT bad, are they? Maybe I just have Lower standards than others who complain about them.

Yes, I agree, give the wife the kindle fire and get this device for yourself. The mucroSD card booting is the reason I bought it.... and the price didn't hurt either. I've got a friend at work who got the nexus 10 and he's jealous when I tell him all the cool things I'm doing with my HD+.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dbh369:
Loving the HD+. CM10 on SD card is evolving too such that much of the ROM is actually in memory now, so even faster. And CM10/10.1 is so feature loaded! And pull the SD out for a stock (or rooted sotck) experience (the reader on the HD is excellent). I've taken to using it for note taking by stylus and syncing via dropbox, its becoming an essential device for me! That said, I wish the charger/connector were uUSB, and teh dev community is working hard but is somewhat small so its not like you are going to get a lot of options. Accessorizing is a challenge too, but stuff is coming out...

I say bestow this KFHD on your wife for Valentines Day ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] tigim101:
I just bought a 200$ barnes and noble gift card from a friend for $130 with the intention of getting a Nook, I figured by now they figured out how to put stock android on it, but didnt realize the Nook HD+ was that new. I stopped by B&N very briefly and toyed with the hd+ a bit and it was surprisingly laggy, I hope that was just the store one, but I saw a view video reviews that said that the nook is really laggy. Does CM10 fix the lag. And once CM10 is on the SD card, is it really as easy as taking out the sd card and being back at stock?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Larrondo:
CM10 or 10.1?

I've got my 32gb Sandisk C4 card and am ready to try CM. If CM10 is more stable, can someone explain the advantages of CM10.1? Or the differences? Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bpaulien:
Sounds like a good deal.

I think the update takes care of some lag issues, and you definitely won't see lag on cm10. Except perhaps when switching from Portrait to landscape but I think that's being worked on.

And yes, once you are running in cm10 all you have to do is remove the sd card, reboot and it Will boot into stock (or rooted stock, if that's what you're running) then when you're done in stock, put back in the SD card, reboot again, and magically back in cm10.

I haven't actually run cm10.1 so can't speak too much on advantages/disadvantages of it, but I THINK the way it works is that cm10 is jelly Bean 4.1 and cm10.1 is jelly Bean 4.2.

If I'm wrong about that, I'm sure somebody will set me straight and we'll both learn something.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Taosaur:
I'm jealous of the Fire HD's speakers, but the Nook HD+ has it beat in pretty much every other area, at least if you're not shy about rooting or banging together a CM10 SD card. And of course, for the price of a KFHD with no ads you can have a Nook HD+ and a 64GB SD card to put in it. I only noticed UI lag in the store models at Target before I got them online and updated them. As far as I can see, the first post-release update put any lag to bed, and the HD+ tested really well from the start in browser speed.

And personally, I'm a storage junkie. I have a lot of (digital) stuff, and the main point of a tablet for me is to have access to my stuff, not Amazon's or B&N's stuff. The stuff I want to view on a 9" screen takes up some space, and I would get cramped with 30-40GB available on my old Nook Color. Having 60-70GB to play with is just right. I probably would have snapped up a Nexus 7 a long time ago, or held out for a Nexus 10, if Google hadn't decided that expandable storage hurts consumers wittle bwains.

I played with the nook hd + today in a store. I liked what I saw. The default interface is much less annoying than the fire.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] datas0ft:
The less you have the more you want! ;)

I liked Android simplicity three years ago ... now CM 10.1 nightly is not enough to me :D
[Nook HD, HD+ General] codya321:
2 things that i think are pretty important; sometimes more important than the internals, on a tablet are screen and form factor. If you are going to be holding somthing in your hand and staring at it for extended time you want that to be enjoyable. I bought the Nook HD over other 7inch tablets based mostly on the great screen resolution/ppi and how light and comforable the HD feels in the hand. I have a Samgsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, but I hadly pick it up now having the HD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] gunnyman:
I returned my kfhd today and got a 32 GB hd + so much better. Very easy to get gapps on it. Only annoyance is the white on white but I bet that gets fixed very soon.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sorrowuk:
The white on white thing is fixed. You can install a zip on this forum to fix it
[Nook HD, HD+ General] AF85:
I'm rather torn between the Nook HD and the Nexus 7. The fact I get vanilla Android with the Nexus is tempting but the better screen and expandable storage (either would be mostly running without the benefit of an Internet connection) makes the Nook equally tempting in a different way. Is the display that much better than the Nexus' to the point that it justifies a device that needs unlocking in order to meet my requirements?

In terms of video playback, how powerful is the HW acceleration support for the Nook? I'd want to feed it FHD videos to take advantage of the extra resolution and I don't want it choking.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] quan0509:
You right, brother. CM10 or next generation are so good for Nook HD, no lagging, no disresponsibility.

One thing i've been concerning is about the speaker. But it no matter cause i don't open it out loud ever. its ok for me now even i have to bring my own chager and cable to everywhere i go then could not sharing accessories with my friends.

B&N should be concerning about this problem i think.

I love my nook HD. The major advantage is that I can boot CM 10 from sdcard without a risk of bricking or anything.The disadvantage is that whenever I try to modify /system it gets in this boot loop then resets itself

Hi Guys,

Im looking for a cheapo tablet and seen the nook and its tempted me.

Mainly for the screen, the weight and the look of it.

One question, whats it like playing games? I will mainly be using it to surf web, read magazines/books

and play light games (all heavy games il have on my htc one)

I will root it and put cm10 on it (have done many phones so dont have a

problem with complicated way of doing it)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] shamo75:
Hi Phil,

I bought nook hd+ for exactly the same reason. Cheap but powerfull enough, solid build, nice screen, Sd card. I was using Nook color before, so I knew what should I expect. After verifying how far CM10 for Nook HD+ was, it was a go. I bought hd+ because I wanted somewhta bigger screen for web browsing and reading magazines/books than my former 7" Nook color had.

Few things to consider from user experience:

- screen is 16:10 (or is it 16:9), which is less suitable for browsing web and reading magazines, but better for movies

- on CM10 wake from sleep with magnetic covers (like Poetic Slimline) doesn't work (yet)

- I had to set in CM seetings wifi to be off when screen is off, otherwise it drains battery too much as things are

Other then that it perfect for me. Haven't really played games other than tries Angra birds Space wars, which work perfect.

Hope this helps in anyway.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Phil750123:
Thanks for that came in useful!

I went ahead and brought it today, got a really good deal, £189 for the device, a free £20 case , free £55 times newpaper subscription, and £20 nook store voucher.

Just got home with it and turned it on etc seems very nice, i love the feel of it, nice and light compared to other 9 inch tablets, screen seems nice.

Just waiting for my sd card to be delivered so i can put cm10 on it.

Had a look through store seems everything costs money! very not androidy. So will have to wait for sd card to have a proper play.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] taiwwa:
I haven't used the kindle fire.

They look pretty similar. I don't see how the screen on the nook is that much better. It's only 80 pixels bigger.

It seems to me that the nook's biggest advantages would be...

-- if you like BN. This is more political than practical, but I do sorta have a soft spot for the underdog with quirky hardware

-- free fridays! every friday there's a free app and novel. I'm sure Amazon probably does a better job at promos, but there it is.

-- Seems lighter

-- 80 more pixels of vertical screen space.

-- SD card slot. It's supposed to be an advantage, but I've found that like effectively there is a 4gb file limit on transfers, even with exFAT. In other words, the SD card I am using right now is pretty much useless (I've been using the nook to watch blu-ray quality movies)

-- cheaper

-- It does seem more hackable than the Amazon -- however, it NEEDS to be hacked to be functional, unlike amazon which has a healthy library of apps. And I...can't figure out how to hack this thing. The normal app store has very limited selection, though it's more than enough for a casual consumer.

Cons are--

-- lousy firmware. The official browser is slow as hell. As I mentioned earlier, there is a 4gb file limit on any memory card, which greatly reduces the effectiveness for me. Also, for some reason file transfers through the nook went at a pace half of that of a standard card reader (before hitting the 4gb limit and then crashing)

-- lousy app selection. Biggest annoyance for me is that there's no Pocket reader app on here. I've had to use readability, which is terrible.

-- No amazon prime videos. Because watching on a pc isn't ideal, being able to stream to a tablet is really nice

-- BN is in dire straits. They've thought about spinning off the Nook division, but I can't really imagine anyone who'd be interested in continuing it.

-- One speaker that is pretty quiet. It's less than half as loud as an ipad's speaker.

-- proprietary cable. Given low volumes, odds are that you're not going to find that many cheap knock-offs from China.

I've seriously considered selling my nook and just getting the amazon tablet. I'd probably stick with it if I were you. I'm probably going to have to simply buy one of the commercial rooting solutions, but like all hacks I'm expecting that a number of features will be inexplicitly broken, requiring hours of reading confusing forum threads to debug.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Phil750123:
Good comparison, pretty much sum up the opinions i have on it!

I would add to the pros that it feels much nicer, as in the back material is very nice.

And to the cons, it has no camera

In fact the nook software that rubbish, i havent even used it other than to set it up, waiting for my sd card to come today so i can

put cm10 on it and start using it as a tablet!

And note to new users outside the US, the cheapest you can get a cable for is $34, and thats just a usb cable...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bpaulien:
Yeah, I've been using mine since the beginning of the year and haven't even booted into stock in the last couple months except for the rare random reboots into stock in the middle of the night ... but that's easily dealt with by just rebooting back into CM10.

I can't say I regret The purchase. For me the 2 biggest pros were price and the sdcard. Even though I don't really use it for filling up on media, it's nice that you can boot into alternate ROMs with it.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] shamo75:
Also for those of us outside USA&UK stock Nook has no value as you can't download not even the free apps&media from B&N store. Compared to Kindle&Amazon.

To me the dillema was: the Kindle with camera&possible use of stock ROM vs Nook with SD card and functional CM ROM. Than I just purchased one that came accross my way while visiting USA... and like already said - having used NC before I knew what to expect.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] someone0:
Interesting, i thought exFAT doesn't have 4GB file limitation. That said, stock firmware does support exFAT, CM10 doesn't.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Taosaur:
The card slot is pretty huge for me, both for running CM10 and for storing a decent selection of comics, audiobooks, music and magazines--even my pruned selection of ebooks on the device is a couple gigs. A 32GB device would be manageable but cramped, and anything smaller would be a constant pain. Video... I don't know, it's probably a bigger deal for frequent flyers or people trying to keep the kids quiet without giving up the TV, but I'm generally content to stick to ex-print media or games when using my tablet and hold off until I have a larger screen and sound system for movies or the handful of shows I'm following at any given time. I probably said farther up the thread that you probably shouldn't even be looking at the Nooks unless color print media (magazines, comic books) are top priorities for your mobile device and ebooks are high in the mix.

I'm a little surprised to see taiwwa complaining about the browser, as most reviewers benched it faster than the stock browsers on either the Kindles or the Nexus 7. I found it quite snappy for the little while I used it, too, though at this point I've migrated nearly everything to CM10 and the convenience of my Chrome account. I do still appreciate stock for the magazine experience, and magazines are the one thing I actually purchase from B&N.
